Chapter 255 Found
After determining that the situation in the capital was unfavorable to the Miao people, Qiyun was caught in a dilemma.
She didn't know whether she should move forward, stop, or return to the capital.
In order to avoid being pursued, they didn't even dare to stay overnight at people's homes along the way.
The weather in March was still a bit cold. After camping outdoors for a night, Ji Yunshu felt dizzy when he opened his eyes early in the morning.
As soon as Qiyun touched her head, she knew she couldn't leave. She couldn't help but complain: "You Daxia women are so spoiled."
Ji Yunshu couldn't refute it. Although she had a good physical foundation and had always insisted on practicing martial arts, she was ultimately raised in a pampered environment.
Qiyun said she was disgusted, but she knew a little about medicine and knew that she had to reduce Ji Yunshu's fever as soon as possible.
So he wrote a prescription and asked someone to go to the nearby city to buy medicine.
However, she didn't know that Zhao Shen had set up a tight net in the nearby towns during this night, and she was discovered as soon as she showed up.
So after her people came back from buying medicine, the place was surrounded by Zhao Shen and his men.
Qiyun looked at the handsome man who appeared in front of her and wanted to kidnap Ji Yunshu, but she was still a step too slow.
Zhao Shen tormented for two days and finally found the person, but found that Ji Yunshu had a fever. He gave Qiyun a cold look and ordered the people he brought: "Kill without mercy."
Qiyun felt cold all over and froze in place after being looked at by that one glance.
It was Ji Yunshu who pulled Zhao Shen's sleeve and said, "Don't kill people, they didn't hurt me."
Zhao Shen then said, "Take them all back."
Ji Yunshu didn't expect Zhao Shen to find him so quickly. After getting on the carriage, he saw that Zhao Shen's eyes were dark blue and bloodshot, and he knew that he might not have rested since he disappeared.
She then hugged Zhao Shen's waist with her backhand, nestled in his arms and said, "I'm fine."
Zhao Shen held her in his arms and whispered, "It's my fault. I knew..."
Ji Yunshu raised her hand to cover his mouth: "It has nothing to do with you. I was the one running around. You can only blame me if you want to."
Zhao Shen held her hand tightly and said nothing more. Ji Yunshu felt uncomfortable all over. She had a fever and she still felt cold even after wrapping herself in a thick blanket.
She fell into a deep sleep in Zhao Shen's arms.
When she woke up again, she was already in her bed in her room.
Zhao Shen sat by her bed, watching over her. When he saw her wake up, he asked softly, "Do you feel unwell? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head. He didn't feel hungry, but his throat hurt. He said, "I want to drink some water."
Zhao Shen immediately poured her a glass of boiled water.
Ji Yunshu drank the whole cup before he felt his throat feel a little better.
"What time is it?"
"The hour of Hai."
As they were talking, Lan Yin heard the noise and walked in with medicine.
"This is freshly brewed medicine. Madam, drink it while it's hot."
Ji Yunshu watched as Zhao Shen brought the medicine with a pungent smell in front of her and couldn't help but want to shrink back.
"I'm fine now. I don't need to drink this, right?"
Zhao Shen was helpless: "It's just that the fever has gone down, I still need to take the medicine to relieve the cold."
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Ji Yunshu simply swallowed the bowl of medicine in one breath, suppressing his nausea.
Lan Yin took the empty bowl and went out.
Seeing Ji Yunshu looking like she was about to vomit, Zhao Shen couldn't help but ask, "It's not that bad, is it?"
Ji Yunshu glanced at him and said, "It's not you who's drinking it, so of course you won't find it unpalatable."
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Shen leaned over and kissed her lips: "I'll accompany you."
Ji Yunshu glared at him, but seeing the fatigue in his eyes, he said nothing in the end and pulled him to the bed: "I'm fine, you should rest for a while."
Zhao Shen was indeed very tired. He had been looking for people almost non-stop these past few days, even though he knew that those people's purpose was to exchange Ji Yunshu for his ring.
But I'm still afraid of something unexpected happening.
Only when he actually saw the person did his tense nerves relax.
"I was really scared when I found out you were missing that day."
He whispered in Ji Yunshu's ear.
Ji Yunshu comforted him softly, "I'm fine, don't be afraid."
Zhao Shen nodded, smelled the familiar scent on her body, and closed his eyes.
Ji Yunshu listened to his even breathing and fell asleep peacefully.
The next morning, when Ji Yunshu woke up, he felt refreshed, and it was obvious that his illness had healed.
Zhao Shen was still sleeping beside him. He was indeed very tired and had not woken up yet.
Ji Yunshu did not move, and Zhao Shen did not open his eyes until the sun was high in the sky.
He saw Ji Yunshu looking at him with his head tilted to the side, and couldn't help but laugh: "Haven't you seen enough? I don't look good when I'm asleep, do I?"
"A face like yours is always beautiful. I can never get enough of looking at it."
Zhao Shen pinched her cheek: "You're trying to fool me again."
Ji Yunshu hugged his neck and said, "My husband is wise and brave. He saved me from danger. I mean all these words sincerely."
Zhao Shen kissed her cheek and got up decisively.
After eating, Ji Yunshu saw that Zhao Shen had no intention of leaving the house, and asked in surprise, "Are you okay today?"
Zhao Shen said, "Today is the Spring Examination. I have arranged everything that needs to be arranged."
Ji Yunshu was stunned for a moment. She had been distracted by all sorts of things these days and almost forgot about this important matter.
"Those people used me to lure you out of the capital, could it be for this?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "I am only the Jingzhao Yin, I have nothing to do with the imperial examination. There is no need for those people to lure me out of the city for this."
"What's that for?"
Zhao Shen rubbed her head and said, "You'll know in a few days."
"Mystique."
Ji Yunshu grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Zhao Shen smiled and asked, "What are you going to do with those people who kidnapped you?"
Ji Yunshu's attention was instantly diverted: "Can I do whatever I want with you?"
Zhao Shen nodded. "Didn't you forbid us from killing them? It wouldn't be right to just let them go. Let them think they can kidnap anyone in the capital without paying the price."
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "The girl leading the group is called Qiyun. She seems to be of a more extraordinary status and is a very simple person. She has no idea that you and the Emperor have been poisoned. She must have been used by someone. I want to meet her."
Zhao Shen nodded. "Okay, I'll take her to the Jingzhao Prefecture's prison. There have been a lot of Miao people imprisoned there lately. I think those people will be able to clear her mind a little."
Ji Yunshu said, "I'm not worried that she's not in a clear mind, I'm just afraid that she has nothing in her mind. This girl is simply the most innocent person I've ever met. I don't know how anyone could let her come to the capital."
Zhao Shen said thoughtfully, "Then there must be something that requires her help."
Ji Yunshu thought the same thing: "She seems to be anxious to get something from the Marquis' Mansion. Oh no, she said that thing originally belonged to the Miao people. Do you know what it is?"
Zhao Shen took out the blood-red ring: "Father said it might be this."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
She had a very good eye. She picked out this ring from the piles of treasures in the warehouse and gave it to Zhao Shen.
This is actually what the Miao people have been trying so hard to find.
